Ichigo's Shugo Akuma
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING BUT THE STORY
Last we had found that Takeno and Tensho were to become shinigami and lead their very own squad and to train in order to combat the higher level hollows known as menos, arrancar and espada. They don't officially exist and they are also to confront any other threat to the soul society the head captain deems necessary for their power.
The duo went through intense physical training everyday and every other day also had to work on their knowledge studies and haro and kido spells. But regardless everyday they also had to spend at least 3 hours meditating trying to identify their individual zanpakutou spirits and another 4 working on their swordsmanship. They sometimes sparred each other but most times they were to spar captains until they could match or best the captains without shikai or bankai.
-Takeno-
After a long day or training we walked into our room and just fell into our beds still fully clothed and still clutching our training zanpakutou. I was asleep within moments and was back in my own personal bamboo grove by the mountain spring and upon entering the clearing I felt the familiar presence and the voice had become clearer over the years and my visitations to this place had become more and more frequent as of late. This time I heard the voice and it clearly said to me "Welcome Takeno, it is about time I finally decided to listen to what he had to say." I asked aloud who was talking and they should show themselves. The answer I got shocked me and yet didn't surprise me, he voice replied "You know full well who is speaking, you have walked atop me and looked right into my very soul many a time and yet you still ask. Mayhaps you aren't deservant of my power after all." I looked upon the pond in thought and hesitantly asked aloud "are you my zanpakutou's spirit?" "Very good, he can be taught, but can he comprehend what he has been taught?" at this point I grew angry and growled out that he had better watch just whom he was insulting. All I heard was laughter and as if he had just whipped away a tear, he said "I'll allow you to speak that way to me only after you have truly claimed me for your own and unleash my power." I asked aloud what his name was but his response only left me puzzled even further, he said "you know my name, that is why you made your inner world to resemble myself."
I woke with a start only see Tensho getting up and begin to stretch saying good morning and asking his ritual question as to whether or not we were ready for a great day... Yea like that was possible after a dream like that.
